Abstract: The Constitution of the Republic of Macedonia 1991 has been initially envisaged as a constitution of a state with majority democracy and as basis for civil society, putting the individual citizen as a central figure of the concept of human rights. However, the political reality of unproductive majority democracy was personification of the elementary preconditions for transition towards consociational democracy. That led to signing of the Ohrid Framework Agreement in 2001 which provisions were transposed as amendments into the Constitution of RM – a landmark moment for realization of the consociational democracy. This work regards the opposite/prospective process - the transition from consociational towards majority democracy.
Namely, the consociational democracy represents a temporal solution and consists inherent weaknesses per se, regarding its sustainability, as well as it is rather anachronous when treating certain human rights as collective ones, therefore, at some point, it must transition into majority democracy, above all with the purpose of ensuring coherence and integration of the society and political system, which is also the case in the Republic of North Macedonia. Consequently, the work would deal with the reasons, favourable conditions and the argument of favourable time-frame for transition to majority democracy in RM. The analysis would be based on several parameters – the realization so far and sufficiency of the goals of the Ohrid Framework Agreement, the direction and future of the vivid process of decentralization, the integrative process of RNM in the EU and NATO, as well as the role of the political parties and their membership, but also the one of the citizens and the civil sector as whole in these processes.
The ultimate goal is to depict the majority democracy as a permanent sustainable solution for the democracy and political system of the Republic of North Macedonia, as well as how to re-introduce majority democracy in RNM.2019-01-01T00:00:00Z
